JOB DESCRIPTION
SOMETHING ABOUT ME

I have some communication problems, but I am starting to learn to put sentences together.I can have tantrums and can bite, scram and scream. When I am like this, a PA needs to remain calm and patient with me.I do not have any sense of danger and can run off. I am not toilet trained as of yet.
